Transmission Issues with 2006 E350

Anyone else experiencing tranmission problems with a 2006 E class? I'm having two problems:

1. A few times a week, the gears are not shifting automatically creating RPM overload. I can manually shift, but it's a pain.

2. Every now and again, the transmission randomly shifts during accleration creating a whiplash effect.

I'm getting it looked at next week but am curious if others are having this problem.

My windshield also cracked yesterday. Apparently I had a small rock chip that, when combined with snow, created a fractured windshield.

I see that this is essentially a duplicate post - I apologize.

When I picked up my car, my dealer said that if my transmission was shifting poorly to come back in and there was a software update that would fix it. I asked him what to look for and he said that I would know it if it was happening. Maybe that is what is up with yours.

I just took mine in for that problem. It seems to be not doing it anymore.
